"Wolfgang’s estimate was competitive with others that I obtained but I chose him because of his professional handling of the job revenue and his estimate presentation. He and a helper completed this job in less time than he projected. They worked diligently. They were neat. And they did a high quality job. I would hire this company for my next interior painting need."

"We recently hired Donnie and his crew to paint the interior of our home, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. They showed up on time every day, communicated well and respected our home. The job itself was flawless with clean lines and even coats. Their pricing was competitive, and we felt we received great value for the quality of work provided. We definitely recommend F&D Painting."

"We had an air conditioner freeze in out attic. It resulted in water damage on our ceiling as a result of failed safty switches designed to prevent the pan from overflowing. Shield came to our rescue. They were very friendly and extremely professional. Very neat work and a complete clean up after the job was done. The damage was so completely repaired that you would never know it happened. We are delighted that workers of this quality are there for us. If anyone needs drywall services or painting, please look no further than to Shield."

"We had Troy-Bilt do a complete gut and remodel of our master bathroom. This was extensive work that included tearing out the old shower and corner tub, reframing/moving the wall the old shower was in to create a linen closet, replace two vanities, create a large corner master shower, move plumbing for one vanity and shower, replace the toilet, install new medicine cabinets, and replace all lights and fixtures. Also, we removed the bath door and Troy-Bilt hung a sliding barn door. We purchased all the material, except for miscellaneous items, and Troy-Bilt worked with us to create the design and layout of the new bathroom. It all turned out excellent. We are very pleased. Price below includes only labor and miscellaneous material - the bulk of material was provided/purchased by us directly. Also, the price includes work and some extra material for the shower (tile work, some additional granite pieces to match vanity tops, and glass shower walls)."

FAQs for painting projects in Charlottesville, VA

You’ll need 1 gallon of paint per 350 square feet of coverage. Typical amounts per room size:

  • Small room (200-400 sq. ft.): 1 gallon.

  • Medium-sized (400-800 sq. ft.): 2-4 gallons.

  • Large (800-1,200 sq. ft.): 5-gallons or more.

Painters usually make $20 per hour on average or about $40,000 per year. Independent contractors might pocket a little more. However, they must charge for overhead, such as vehicles, equipment, insurance, marketing and association dues.

Specialty painting, like murals and trompe l’oeil, costs $40 to $50 per hour. Paint might range between $75 to $90. The professional’s skill and experience are also determining factors. While a freelance artist might charge $25 to $30 an hour, a very skilled professional might charge $80 or more. Some might also charge $60 or more for a consultation.

Trompe l'oeil creates a realistic image or optical illusion in three dimensions. Murals are composed on a wall of any size. These two projects vary in price, with a trompe l'oeil typically costing more because of its complexity. Both are considered specialty projects.
